Stumbled upon Sussex at lunchtime after buying theater tickets. Attractive pub. Our four orders were ready at different times so that half of us were finished eating when the others were just beginning. Pulled pork nacho toppings were a little sparse. Did not care for...More

The fish was full of oil and the chips cold like my...More

I was starving, so I ordered three courses (starter, main course and pudding). I asked the guy behind the bar, could I order all three courses at once to save me going back to the bar three times and he agreed. When my food arrived,...More

There's nothing really to complain about, but it earns an average vote as that's exactly what this pub is - average. The food is normal pub standard, the drinks are the usual suspects, there's a couple of TVs, and non-offensive background music. There's a lot...More

My sister and I had a few hours to kill in between matinee and evening performances and wanted to get some food. I went in the Sussex the last time I was around Covent Garden so we headed inside.
We ordered 2 sharer platters and...More

Having been on a river boat trip in London and doing our tourist type things we thought we would stop for a quick drink here.
Around £10 for a pint of lager and a vodka/lemonade it is quite expensive but then it is London.

Fun looking place inside and out. Staff helpful and welcoming. Food hot, not too long to wait for it. Had Fish and Chips and Steak and Ale pie. Wondered a bit about the "label" attached to the pie....edible? Didn't chance it but otherwise quite good....More

The place is crowdy, but there is more space downstairs, that is good when rain is outside.
Traditional cuisine, substantial portions, prices are regular for such type of spots.
In heart of Soho, next to A.Christie's memorial sculpture.

This is a happening traditional English Pub. Been here on several occasions with my wife over the last two years.
The Sussex is centrally located in the heart of London, easily accessible, somewhere between Leicester Square and Covent Garden tube station. It’s usually busy but...More

The Sussex in Covent Garden is a traditional London pub. You'll find us on Upper St Martins Lane, where Covent Garden connects to Leicester Square. Our menu is in the best tradition of British pub food. Best enjoyed with a drink, friends and always with a warm welcome. The area where the Sussex pub is situated has been a recognised thoroughfare since Saxon times. In Roman times this area also connected Westminster to the City of London. During the reign of King John (1199-1216) Long Acre was recorded as the northern boundary of the Covent Garden of the monks of St. Peter's Abbey. Over the years the area has been home to royalty, cartwrights and fruiterers in addition to famous names such as Nicholas Stone the sculptor, Oliver Cromwell and John Dryden. Today the area is still a bustling hub of activity connecting Covent Garden to Leicester Square. Our downstairs bar with a capacity of up to 100 is available to hire for private parties and functions. The team at the Sussex look forward to welcoming you!
